So right now i am stuck. Scars has been released, the prerelease events are over, the release party has ended and people have started to build for standard. I, like everyone else...well not everyone else but most people were excited to get started on the deck building and in the last few days articles on several websites have flourished and given the magic community a foundation. And since the pre release of scars i have started to brew lists on countless pieces of paper trying to put together a deck that will that will take grasp of the format and hopefully people will notice.
Whats Built So Far
i seemed to have a pretty good rhythm of putting together some good decks. i had Orzhov mimic vat down and i was really happy with how late game it worked but not satisfied with its early game.
i had a Kor equipment build at the end of Shards block and jund kept it down but now that its finally gone i added Red and more equipment. so far its fast, hits hard but slows down after turn four and just finally stops doing anything late.
then there is this R/W or R/W/G liquidmetal "control" deck floating around that just turns everything into artifacts then you smash them with shatter and the dragon and other R/W artifact hate. but i am really just looking at it from a distance to see if anything actually comes to it.
I also considered making a deck with the new Phoenix...next
and right now i am toying with U/W control and i have so much of the deck built i just need...jace 2.0, story of my life. seems like everyone just needs that card to play blue. Blue=Jace
So these are the brief decks i have some kind of an idea and i may or may not expand on them. but yesterday while searching through the forms for a new idea for a list, i just stopped. i stopped looking at lists, i stopped coming up with ideas, i just stopped.
Every idea that i came up with seemed dumb, like it would never work and that i was wasting my time, it had hit The Wall. The Wall is something i think most mtg players have hit and may struggle with from time to time. its when you cant get an idea through that makes sense enough to expand upon.its when you can make decklist after decklist and still not be satisfied enough to stop and just settle on one idea. its when you come up with crazy combos and interactions with cards in your head and when you put those cards in front of you you ask yourself "are you high?"
soooo right now i am finishing this article and i cant becuase i took a break from building and magic for a few hours and now i want to build. fluid ideas are passing through my head and a solid deck seems to be forming. so i guess um...thats it. i had so much to say about The Wall earlier when i was heavily experiencing it but right now... its gone. so to conclude my post i am going to put this up :D
